Hi Mary,
If I am understanding your question, my Openbook reads the first page as the
first page regardless if it is advertisement or such other stuff. In
Openbook, it will say page 15, but the actual page may be 12. The good
thing about it is that Openbook reads the page numbers so I just tell it to
find whatever page I want and it goes to it or I can go page by page until I
get where I want to be. Is this what you were asking? HTH

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] A question about reading daisy books
Hi Everyone,
Can someone tell me, please, when reading a daisy book with something
other than K1000, is there an announcement that distinguishes between
preliminary pages of a book, and the actual start of the text, if the
first page of the text is numbered 1. To clarify, are your preliminary
pages called preliminary pages, and then is the first page of text called
1? Or are the preliminary pages called 1, 2, 3, and so on, so that the
first page of actual text, regardless of the number printed on that page,
might then be numbered ten? Am I making sense? Does anybody know the
answer?
Thanks for your help.
Also, I got a definitive answer from Stephen Baum at Kurzweil that K1000
does not removed the printed page numbers from text in a daisy file. The
missing page numbers issue is not, apparently, caused by Kurzweil.
Sorry to belabour this point, but it seems to me that with the 100
thousand (Was that the actual number?) of textbooks due to be added to the
Bookshare collection in the next few years, page numbers would be quite
important. I know that they are to me in a textbook especially.
If I can get an answer to my question about how daisy readers other than
K1000 announce any difference between preliminary and actual pages of
text, I will drop this subject completely. People who harp on subjects
that they can't change, and know will not change annoy me after a while.
I'm starting to annoy myself.
I'm sorry to the list for all of this. This will be my last word, if I
can understand completely how other daisy readers deal with the difference
between preliminary and actual pages in a book. Thank you all for your
patience. Are your delete keys wearing out?
Peace,
Mayrie
